Place Names

Nirn - The planet on which all Elder Scrolls games take place. It is the center of the plane of Mundus, and the eight planets are believed to orbit around it. Nirn has two moons - Masser, the big one, and Secunda, the small one.

Oblivion - a plane of existence lying between Mundus and the Aetherium, the plane where the Aedra exist. Oblivion is home of the Daedra and the Daedric Princes, who have constructed their own realms within the plane of Oblivion.

Coldharbour - the realm of Daedric Prince Molag Bal. It is essentially a copy of Nirn, including physical features like the White Gold Tower, but filled with desecration and destruction.
